Picked my first 6 Black Cherry Tomatos, 1 Jalpeno pepper, a handful of mulberries and blackberries.
We are getting a few tomatos on. Actually will have a couple of Black Cherry maters next week. The smaller ones are growing a little. I found a video on youtube that had a receipe for tomato food. So I got the stuff and mixed it today and fed our maters, peppers, and cukes. Video said to reapply every 3 weeks. I'm hopin it gives it a good kick.
Tomorrow gonna plant squash, melons, & pumpkins. Got the ground worked today.
I also went to Tractor Supply last night and got some Cattle panels, 16' x 50" to use to train the maters on. I needed new cages anyway and saw this method and wanted to give it a shot. I got enough of them to finish off my grape arbor this winter too.
I have a row of Concord grapes. Also have a row mixed with White and red muscadine grapes. The. Muscadines came from. Cuttings at least as far back as my grandpa.BacP. you really have a good garden even grapes ,huh?

I love having my own food to eat. Looking forward to retirement so I can grow more. Want to try my hand at aquaponics as well to have year round harvest of at least some stuff.
I know they are a southern grape. But it may be too hot for them in Florida. I have wild grapes all over the place here. They have tons of tiny grapes on them, but never get any size. The ones in my little vineyard get as big as a dime or so in a decent year.

Wait, isn't it winter there? Or am I very confused?

I took pics of the garden this morning and let us see if I can post them here.
I am very pleased with the way this garden is shaping up considering I am disabled and I did everything myself.

Very nice harvest Dutches. What type onions are those? Are they sweets or keepers?
One of my garden spots (I have 3 for veggies), only get 4-7 hours a day of sun. The other 2 most all day by 9am. One of these two shades over starting around 6, total by 7.
Today I tilled everything I have planted. Hoe'd around every plant. Installed 9 cattle panels to use for training my cucumbers, tomatos, and gourds up them. First time I've used them, but I love the way they look and how easy they are to deal with. Other than being 16' long they are very simple. Planted 3 Ozark Giant, 7 California Wonder, 3 Serrano Chili, and 3 Jalapeno peppers to finish out my cucumber row. Mulched with glass clippings in the bed near the house. Wife call it her kitchen garden. I also planted 13 "Pork Chop" tomatos. They were part of the trial garden seeds I got. Look to be a decent size yellow tomato. Put panels up for them and for the gourds that was part of the trial and the tomatos. Fertilized the squash, melons, and both rows of onions. 1 of which are starting to bulb. I'll start harvesting one here and there on the first row. They aren't keepers, so we'll just eat on them as we go.
@Tank-Girl you have done a wonderful job of your garden and so ordered and neat . I hope you get some abundant crops off them all.
@Dutchs nice crops how wonderful you are producing so much in your garden.
@Terri9630 @Tank-Girl is in a tropical region and really hot in the top end of Australia and barely any winter. We are about halfway down the East Coast of Australia, slightly inland and we are a temperate region. Really cold winters with frost and hot and dry in summer without the humidity that @Tank-Girl gets.
